Pan de Huevo Chilean Sweet Bread Rolls are the snack of choice at the beach in Chile. Ladies, usually wearing an all-white uniform, sell homemade pieces of bread there. It also is very popular at picnics.
This bread hardens quickly; I recommend freezing them if you have extras.

Super dry dough. I didn’t know what to do with that. Bad
★
I’m sorry it didn’t work for you.
Maybe you missed an ingredient or used small eggs?
Also, the recipe advises adding water until the dough comes together (step 4).
Good luck.
